Free Crochet Pattern: Mr. Smiley Face Cat Toy

Cats love to play. Rather than purchasing store-bought cat toys, there are many options for home made cat toys. If you are a crocheter, try making this smiley face ball for your cats. This crochet pattern is simple enough for even a beginner.

The example shown was crocheted using worsted weight yarn and a size F hook and measures about 1 1/2 inches across. Finished size will vary depending on yarn selection, hook size, and tension. For this project, it is best to use a hook one size smaller than recommended for your yarn. This will keep your stitches tight so that stuffing won't leak out as your cat plays with its new toy.
